Aprilia To Unveil RSV4 At Miller WSBK Round 

 The RSV4 is powered by a 999cc 65-degree V four engine — the most powerful engine ever developed by the Italian OEM. The new powerplant uses multi-mapping ride-by-wire technology — a solution that offers virtually infinite opportunities for power delivery and traction control — and the bike is further defined by an aluminum frame and swingarm, Öhlins fork, rear monoshock, a cassette type gearbox, slipper clutch, steering damper, Brembo monobloc brake calipers and forged aluminum wheels. Plus, a range of chassis adjustments allows switching up headstock angle (thanks to interchangeable steering bushings), swingarm and engine position.
